Subcellular_localizationIn all cells where fluorescence is visible, SEL-8::GFP is nuclear.
TypeReporter_gene
PatternSEL-8::GFP appears to accumulate in most, if not all, nuclei of embryos before morphogenesis. In larvae, SEL-8::GFP is visible throughout development in head, tail, and ventral cord neurons. In addition, there is a dynamic and complex expression pattern in other tissues. In the somatic gonad, SEL-8::GFP is expressed in Z1.ppp and Z4.aaa during the L2 stage, at the time that these cells are deciding between the anchor cell and ventral uterine precursor cell fates. SEL-8::GFP is also visible, albeit faintly, in the vulval precursor cells in the L3 stage, the time at which they undergo a LIN-12-mediated cell fate decision, and is expressed in a dynamic pattern during the vulval cell lineages.
